For instance, if you're visiting a military base, strap on a helmet and ask if you can drive the tank!

Better yet, strap on full gear and tell everyone to shoot at you and toss grenades your way!

The only thing that has been confirmed is 20 shot. No confirmation of a death count or number of shooters or anything.

I've always read broadswords for the duel. They had to go to Missouri since dueling was illegal in IL, and Lincoln WAS a state representative.

There is a Lincoln axe story though - on at least one occasion he would hold one fully extended without his arm quivering to impress troops.

You know, it's quite possible that I myself mixed up these two anecdotes. Foner also told a story about an Illinois Union private who challenged Lincoln (while he was President) to a foot race and Lincoln accepted and ran it barefoot.

Lets say for this shooting in California that two suspects are white and the third is not. Do they only call one a terrorist and the other two mentally ill?

And March 2014 is Russia seizing Crimea. Of course, that's a sensible response.

Yeah. I've noticed they have fun with the NRA reaction, like LaPierre visiting the evidence room with balloons and stuffed animals for the gun used in the shooting.

But for the shootings themselves, I think they've squeezes the subject dry.

Depends what you mean by choice. I live here cause that's where my family is and my wife and I have good jobs, mine engineering, hers academic, and she's tenured. You don't leave a tenured job. Now if she could get a tenured job in ATL or actually literally anywhere not in the south I'd peace out in a second and look for a job up there.
